EBSCO Business Source Complete and native 'full text' URLs

[Jonathan Rochkind]

Having weird problems with native 'full text' URLs in Xerxes, with EBSCO
Business Source Complete.

I find an article The Agnostic Age: Law, Religion, and the Constitution,
Harvard Law Review Jan2012, Vol. 125 Issue 3, p876-876 1/2p 0017811X.

Xerxes _does_ present a 'native' full text link from EBSCO.

However, when I click on it, I get a _xerxes_ error "Could not construct
link to full-text"

Why is Xerxes presenting this link at all if it can't construct it?

Any ideas what this bug could be David, or where I should look first?

Or should I give up and just turn off native full text links entirely
for EBSCO Business Source Complete?

It does look like this problem is appearing with _every_ native full
text URL Xerxes shows for EBSCO Business Source Complete.

It does _not_ show a native URL for every hit from EBSCO BSC.

But if it _does_ show a native URL, it looks like it always results in
the Xerxes error.

So I guess I'll turn off native full text links for EBSCO BSC for now,
and just have my OpenURL links. I think there's a way to do that in
config, I'll probably find it when I look.

Make sure the IRD has a 'link to native RECORD' field filled out.

Your other Ebsco databases should have these already.

I believe you'll need to do a 'pull' of the Metalib KB into Xerxes to have the change work.

Aha! Yep, that took care of it. Thanks as always for the quick response,
Dave.

I remember this issue now, but I can't manage to remember it in between
times I need it, and neither can other local Metalib KB managers.
